“Personally I am very glad to score; this was my first goal of the season and it helps build my confidence as a player.

With Bernard Ongoma playing a more defensive role, Kago has had the freedom to express himself more and the two, at the heart of midfield have shown great partnership in the past few games.

He draws his confidence from directions from the bench and he is definitely enjoying his game. “I am happy with the performance I have been putting in and the coaches have been very encouraging. For me, as long as I do this for the team, I am okay.”

The goal was Kago’s third as an Ulinzi Stars player and he fancies a few more for the season.
